How to recruit one of our students or graduates
We offer local, regional and national employers the opportunity to advertise full or part-time jobs, casual work, internships and placements through the Handshake platform.
Maintaining an active profile on Handshake is quick and easy and will enhance your visibility as an employer of choice for our students and graduates. It is also completely free of charge and allows you to:
- Advertise unlimited vacancies to students and graduates from the University of Hull.
- Increase brand awareness amongst our student body through your digital employer profile.
- Send targeted communications to our students and graduates to promote your opportunities.
- Add details of online or in person careers events.
You can create a Handshake user account online, with useful information on using the system also available here.
Our students and graduates actively use the system but our Employer Engagement Team can work closely with you to maximise engagement and advise on which of our students or courses might be most suited to your needs.
